CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Nos.:

61/223,684, filed July 7, 2009; 61/247,448, filed September 30, 2009; and 61/318,195, filed March 26, 2010; the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD

[0002] Provided herein are pyrimidinyl and 1,3,5-triazinyl benzimidazoles, and their pharmaceutical compositions, preparation, and use as agents or drugs for cancer therapy, either alone or in combination with radiation and/or other anticancer drugs.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Phosphoinositide-3-kinases (PBKs) are a group of lipid kinases, which phosphorylate the 3-hydroxyl of phosphoinositides. They are classified into at least three classes (Classes I, II, and III) and play an important role in cellular signaling (Stephens et al., Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 2005, 5, 357). Class I enzymes are further classified into Classes Ia and Ib based on their mechanism of activation; Class Ia PI3Ks are heterodimeric structures consisting of a catalytic subunit (pi 1 Oa, pi lOβ, or pi 105) in complex with a regulatory p85 subunit, while the class-Ib PI3K (pi lOγ) is structurally similar but lacks the p85 regulatory subunit, and instead is activated by βγ subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins (Walker et ah, MoI .Cell. 2000, 6, 909). The human protein sequence of the pi 10a isoform is described in Volina et ai, Genomics 1994, 24, 472; and Stirdivant et ai, Bioorg. Med. Chem. 1997, 5, 65.

[0004] PBKs play a variety of roles in normal tissue physiology (Foukas & Shepherd,

Biochem. Soc. Trans. 2004, 32, 330; Shepherd, Acta Physiol. Scand. 2005, 183, 3), with pi 10a having a specific role in cancer growth, pi lOβ in thrombus formation mediated by integrin απβ ₃ (Jackson et al., Nat. Med. 2005, 77, 507), and pi lOγ in inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis (Camps et al, Nat. Med. 2005, 11, 936) and other chronic inflammation states (Barber et ah, Nat. Med. 2005, 77, 933). The PI3K enzymes produce phosphoinositide 3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP3) from the corresponding diphosphate (PIP2), thus recruiting AKT (protein kinase B) through its Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain to the plasma membrane. Once bound, AKT is phosphorylated and activated by other membrane bound kinases and is central to a cascade of events that lead to inhibition of apoptosis (Berrie, Exp.Opin. Invest. Drugs 2001, 10, 1085).

[0005] The pi 10a isoform is selectively amplified and activated in a number of cancer types (Stephens et ah, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 2005, 5, 357; Stauffer et ah, Curr. Med. Chem. - Anti-Cancer Agents 2005, 5, 449). In addition, there is a high frequency of non-random mutations in specific sites, primarily in the C2 domain and or the activation loop, of the kinase in several human cancer cell lines, including colon, brain, breast, and stomach (Samuels et ah, Science 2004, 304, 554). This results in a constitutively active enzyme (Ikenoue et ah, Cancer Res. 2005, 65, 4562; Kang et ah, Proc. Natl. Acad. ScL USA 2005, 102, 802), making pi 10a one of the most highly mutated oncogenes found in human tumors. Structural studies have shown that many of the mutations occur at residues lying at the interfaces between pi 10a and p85α or between the kinase domain of pi 10a and other domains within the catalytic subunit (Miled et ah, Science 2007, 317, 239; Huang et ah, Science 2007, 318, 1744).

[0006] While PI3K isoenzymes play important roles in many cellular processes, published experimental studies in mice with human tumor xenografts show that the pan-PI3K inhibitor LY294002 is well-tolerated, reduces signaling through the PI3K pathway, causes reduction of tumor volume, and is more active in cell lines over-expressing mutant forms of pi 10a than parental control cells (Semba et ah, Clin. Cancer Res. 2002, 8, 1957; Hu et ah, Cancer Res. 2002, 62, 1087).

[0007] Thus, PI3K, especially the pi 10a isoform, is an interesting target for drug intervention. Several classes of compounds have been identified as reversible inhibitors; for example, LY 294002 (non-selective) (Walker et ah, MoI .Cell. 2000, 6, 909), PI103 (slightly α-selective) (Knight et ah, Cell 2006, 725, 733; Hayakawa et ah, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2007, 17, 2438; Raynaud et ah, Cancer Res. 2007, 67, 5840), ZSTK474 (non-selective) (Yaguchi et ah, J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 2006, 98, 545; Kong et ah, Cancer Sci. 2007, 98, 1639), TGX221 (β-selective) (Jackson et ah, Nat. Med. 2005, 11, 507), oxazines (γ-selective) (Lanni et ah, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2007, 17, 756), IC87114 (^-selective) (Sadhu et a WO 2001/81346; Billottet et ah, Oncogene 2006, 25, 6648), AS605240 (γ-selectiye) (Camps et al., Nat. Med. 2005, 77, 936), the imidazo[l,2-α]pyridines (α-selective) (Hayakawa et ah, Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2007, 75, 403; Hayakawa et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. 2007, 75, 5837), and the imidazo[4,5-c]quinoline NVP-BEZ235 (Garcia-Echeverria, et al, WO 2006/122806).

As used herein, "active ingredient" and "active substance" may be an optically active isomer of a compound described herein.

[0023] The terms "drug," "therapeutic agent," and "chemotherapeutic agent" refer to a compound, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, which is administered to a subject for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a condition, disorder, or disease.

[0024] The term "PI3K" refers to a phosphoinositide 3-kinase or mutant thereof, which is capable of phosphorylating the inositol ring of PI in the D-3 position. The term "PI3K mutant" is intended to include proteins substantially homologous to a native PI3K, i.e., proteins having one or more naturally or non-naturally occurring amino acid deletions, insertions, or substitutions (e.g., PI3K derivatives, homologs, and fragments), as compared to the amino acid sequence of a native PI3K. The amino acid sequence of a PI3K mutant is at least about 80% identical, at least about 90% identical, or at least about 95% identical to a native PI3K. Examples of PI3K include, but are not limited to, pi 10a, pi lOβ, pi 108, pi lOγ, PI3K-C2α, PI3K-C2β, PI3K-C2γ, Vps34, mTOR, ATM, ATR, and DNA-PK. See, Fry, Biochem. Biophys. Acta 1994, 7226, 237-268; Vanhaesebroeck and Waterfϊeld, Exp. Cell. Res. 1999, 253, 239-254; and Fry, Breast Cancer Res. 2001, 3, 304-312. PI3Ks are classified into at least three classes. Class I includes pi 10a, pi lOβ, pi 105, and pi lOγ. Class II includes PI3K-C2α, PI3K-C2β, and PI3K-C2γ. Class III includes Vps34. Class IV includes mTOR, ATM, ATR, and DNA-PK. In certain embodiments, the PI3K is a Class I kinase. In certain embodiments, the PI3K is pi 10a, pi lOβ, pi 105, or pi lOγ. In certain embodiments, the PI3K is a mutant of a Class I kinase. In certain embodiments, the PI3K is a pi 10a mutant. Examples of pi 10a mutants include, but are not limited to, R38H, G106V, Kl 1 IN, K227E, N345K, C420R, P539R, E542K, E545A, E545G, E545K, Q546K, Q546P, E453Q, H710P, I800L, T1025S, M1043I, M1043V, H1047L, H1047R, and H1047Y (Dcenoue et al, Cancer Res. 2005, 65, 4562-4567; Gymnopoulos et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. ScL, 2007, 104, 5569-5574). In certain embodiments, the PDK is a Class II kinase. In certain embodiments, the PDK is PI3K-C2α, PI3K-C2β, or PI3K-C2γ. In certain embodiments, the PDK is a Class III kinase. In certain embodiments, the PDK is Vps34. In certain embodiments, the PDK is a Class IV kinase. In certain embodiments, the PI3K is mTOR, ATM, ATR, or DNA-PK.

[0025] The terms "PDK-mediated disorder or disease" and "a condition, disorder or disease mediated by PDK" refer to a condition, disorder, or disease characterized by inappropriate, e.g., less than or greater than normal, PDK activity. Inappropriate PDK functional activity might arise as the result of PDK expression in cells which normally do not express PDK, increased PDK expression or degree of intracellular activation; or decreased PDK expression. A PDK-mediated condition, disorder or disease may be completely or partially mediated by inappropriate PDK activity. In particular, a PDK-mediated condition, disorder or disease is one in which modulation of a PDK enzyme activity results in some effect on the underlying condition or disorder, e.g., a PDK inhibitor results in some improvement in at least some of patients being treated.

[00124] The compounds provided herein are intended to encompass all possible stereoisomers, unless a particular stereochemistry is specified. Where the compound provided herein contains an alkenyl or alkenylene group, the compound may exist as one or mixture of geometric cisltrans (or Z/E) isomers. Where structural isomers are

interconvertible, the compound may exist as a single tautomer or a mixture of tautomers. This can take the form of proton tautomerism in the compound that contains, for example, an imino, keto, or oxime group; or so-called valence tautomerism in the compound that contain an aromatic moiety. It follows that a single compound may exhibit more than one type of isomerism.

[00125] The compounds provided herein may be enantiomerically pure, such as a single enantiomer or a single diastereomer, or be stereoisomeric mixtures, such as a mixture of enantiomers, e.g., a racemic mixture of two enantiomers; or a mixture of two or more diastereomers. As such, one of skill in the art will recognize that administration of a compound in its (R) form is equivalent, for compounds that undergo epimerization in vivo, to administration of the compound in its (S) form. Conventional techniques for the

preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor, asymmetric synthesis from achiral starting materials, or resolution of an enantiomeric mixture, for example, chiral chromatography, recrystallization, resolution, diastereomeric salt formation, or derealization into diastereomeric adducts followed by separation.

[00126] When the compound provided herein contains an acidic or basic moiety, it may also be provided as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt (See, Berge et al, J. Pharm.

1. Matrix Controlled Release Devices

[00193] The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be fabricated using a matrix controlled release device known to those skilled in the art (see, Takada et al. in "Encyclopedia of Controlled Drug Delivery," Vol. 2, Mathiowitz Ed., Wiley, 1999).

[00194] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form is formulated using an erodible matrix device, which is water- swellable, erodible, or soluble polymers, including, but not limited to, synthetic polymers, and naturally occurring polymers and derivatives, such as polysaccharides and proteins.

[00195] Materials useful in forming an erodible matrix include, but are not limited to, chitin, chitosan, dextran, and pullulan; gum agar, gum arabic, gum karaya, locust bean gum, gum tragacanth, carrageenans, gum ghatti, guar gum, xanthan gum, and scleroglucan;

polyvinyl pyrrolidone; polyvinyl alcohol; polyvinyl acetate; glycerol fatty acid esters;

polyacrylamide; polyacrylic acid; copolymers of ethacrylic acid or methacrylic acid

(EUDRAGIT ^® , Rohm America, Inc., Piscataway, NJ); poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate); polylactides; copolymers of L-glutamic acid and ethyl-L-glutamate; degradable lactic acid- glycolic acid copolymers; poly-D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid; and other acrylic acid derivatives, such as homopolymers and copolymers of butylmethacrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, ethylacrylate, (2-dimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate, and (trimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate chloride.

[00196] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are formulated with a non-erodible matrix device. The active ingredient(s) is dissolved or dispersed in an inert matrix and is released primarily by diffusion through the inert matrix once administered. Materials suitable for use as a non-erodible matrix device include, but are not limited to, insoluble plastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polybutadiene, polymethylmethacrylate, polybutylmethacrylate, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymers, ethylene- vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/ethyl acrylate copolymers, vinyl chloride copolymers with vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and propylene, ionomer polyethylene terephthalate, butyl rubbers, epichlorohydrin rubbers, ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol terpolymer, ethylene/vinyloxyethanol copolymer, polyvinyl chloride, plasticized nylon, plasticized polyethylene terephthalate, natural rubber, silicone rubbers, polydimethylsiloxanes, and silicone carbonate copolymers; hydrophilic polymers, such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, crospovidone, and cross-linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate; and fatty compounds, such as carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, and triglycerides.

[00197] In a matrix controlled release system, the desired release kinetics can be controlled, for example, via the polymer type employed, the polymer viscosity, the particle sizes of the polymer and/or the active ingredient(s), the ratio of the active ingredient(s) versus the polymer, and other excipients or carriers in the compositions.

[00198] The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, including direct compression, dry or wet granulation followed by compression, and melt-granulation followed by compression.

2. Osmotic Controlled Release Devices [00199] The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be fabricated using an osmotic controlled release device, including, but not limited to, one-chamber system, two-chamber system, asymmetric membrane technology (AMT), and extruding core system (ECS). In general, such devices have at least two components: (a) a core which contains an active ingredient; and (b) a semipermeable membrane with at least one delivery port, which encapsulates the core. The semipermeable membrane controls the influx of water to the core from an aqueous environment of use so as to cause drug release by extrusion through the delivery port(s).

[00200] In addition to the active ingredient(s), the core of the osmotic device optionally includes an osmotic agent, which creates a driving force for transport of water from the environment of use into the core of the device. One class of osmotic agents is water-swellable hydrophilic polymers, which are also referred to as "osmopolymers" and "hydrogels." Suitable water-swellable hydrophilic polymers as osmotic agents include, but are not limited to, hydrophilic vinyl and acrylic polymers, polysaccharides such as calcium alginate, polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), poly(acrylic) acid, poly(methacrylic) acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), crosslinked PVP, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA/PVP copolymers, PVA/PVP copolymers with hydrophobic monomers such as methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate, hydrophilic polyurethanes containing large PEO blocks, sodium

croscarmellose, carrageenan, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and carboxyethyl, cellulose (CEC), sodium alginate, polycarbophil, gelatin, xanthan gum, and sodium starch glycolate.

[00201] The other class of osmotic agents is osmogens, which are capable of imbibing water to affect an osmotic pressure gradient across the barrier of the surrounding coating. Suitable osmogens include, but are not limited to, inorganic salts, such as magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, lithium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium phosphates, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfite, lithium sulfate, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate; sugars, such as dextrose, fructose, glucose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, and xylitol; organic acids, such as ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, maleic acid, sebacic acid, sorbic acid, adipic acid, edetic acid, glutamic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid; urea; and mixtures thereof.

[00202] Osmotic agents of different dissolution rates can be employed to influence how rapidly the active ingredient(s) is initially delivered from the dosage form. For example, amorphous sugars, such as MANNOGEM™ EZ (SPI Pharma, Lewes, DE) can be used to provide faster delivery during the first couple of hours to promptly produce the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of the remaining amount to maintain the desired level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In this case, the active ingredient(s) is released at such a rate to replace the amount of the active ingredient metabolized and excreted.

[00203] The core can also include a wide variety of other excipients and carriers as described herein to enhance the performance of the dosage form or to promote stability or processing.

[00204] Materials useful in forming the semipermeable membrane include various grades of acrylics, vinyls, ethers, polyamides, polyesters, and cellulosic derivatives that are water-permeable and water-insoluble at physiologically relevant pHs, or are susceptible to being rendered water-insoluble by chemical alteration, such as crosslinking. Examples of suitable polymers useful in forming the coating, include plasticized, unplasticized, and reinforced cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, CA propionate, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), CA ethyl carbamate, CAP, CA methyl carbamate, CA succinate, cellulose acetate trimellitate (CAT), CA dimethylaminoacetate, CA ethyl carbonate, CA chloroacetate, CA ethyl oxalate, CA methyl sulfonate, CA butyl sulfonate, CA p-toluene sulfonate, agar acetate, amylose triacetate, beta glucan acetate, beta glucan triacetate, acetaldehyde dimethyl acetate, triacetate of locust bean gum, hydroxylated ethylene-vinylacetate, EC, PEG, PPG, PEG/PPG copolymers, PVP, HEC, HPC, CMC, CMEC, HPMC, HPMCP, HPMCAS, HPMCAT, poly(acrylic) acids and esters and poly- (methacrylic) acids and esters and copolymers thereof, starch, dextran, dextrin, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, polyalkenes, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.

[00205] Semipermeable membrane can also be a hydrophobic microporous membrane, wherein the pores are substantially filled with a gas and are not wetted by the aqueous medium but are permeable to water vapor, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,798,1 19. Such hydrophobic but water-vapor permeable membrane are typically composed of hydrophobic polymers such as polyalkenes, polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyacrylic acid derivatives, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.

[00206] The delivery port(s) on the semipermeable membrane can be formed post- coating by mechanical or laser drilling. Delivery port(s) can also be formed in situ by erosion of a plug of water-soluble material or by rupture of a thinner portion of the membrane over an indentation in the core. In addition, delivery ports can be formed during coating process, as in the case of asymmetric membrane coatings of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.

5,612,059 and 5,698,220.

[00207] The total amount of the active ingredient(s) released and the release rate can substantially by modulated via the thickness and porosity of the semipermeable membrane, the composition of the core, and the number, size, and position of the delivery ports.

[00208] The pharmaceutical compositions in an osmotic controlled-release dosage form can further comprise additional conventional excipients or carriers as described herein to promote performance or processing of the formulation.

[00209] The osmotic controlled-release dosage forms can be prepared according to conventional methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art (see, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, supra; Santus and Baker, J. Controlled Release 1995, 35, 1-21 ; Verma et al, Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy 2000, 26, 695-708; Verma et ai, J. Controlled Release 2002, 79, 7-27).

[00210] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are formulated as AMT controlled-release dosage form, which comprises an asymmetric osmotic membrane that coats a core comprising the active ingredient(s) and other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers. See, U.S. Pat. No. 5,612,059 and WO 2002/17918. The AMT controlled-release dosage forms can be prepared according to conventional methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art, including direct compression, dry granulation, wet granulation, and a dip-coating method.

[00211] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are formulated as ESC controlled-release dosage form, which comprises an osmotic membrane that coats a core comprising the active ingredient(s), a hydroxylethyl cellulose, and other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers.

[00212] The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be fabricated as a multiparticulate controlled release device, which comprises a multiplicity of particles, granules, or pellets, ranging from about 10 μm to about 3 mm, about 50 μm to about 2.5 mm, or from about 100 μm to about 1 mm in diameter. Such multiparticulates can be made by the processes known to those skilled in the art, including wet-and dry-granulation, extrusion/spheronization, roller-compaction, melt-congealing, and by spray-coating seed cores. See, for example, Multiparticulate Oral Drug Delivery; Marcel Dekker: 1994; and Pharmaceutical Pelletization Technology; Marcel Dekker: 1989.

[00213] Other excipients or carriers as described herein can be blended with the pharmaceutical compositions to aid in processing and forming the multiparticulates. The resulting particles can themselves constitute the multiparticulate device or can be coated by various film-forming materials, such as enteric polymers, water-swellable, and water-soluble polymers. The multiparticulates can be further processed as a capsule or a tablet.

Biological Activity

A. Inhibition of isolated enzyme

[00440] Compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit Class I PI 3-kinase enzymes pi 10δ/p85, pi 10α/p85, and pi 10β/p85. Reaction mixtures comprising 0.1 μg of a recombinant enzyme, 10 μg of L-α-phosphatidylinositol, and 2X Lipid Kinase Buffer (40 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 200 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA), which contains either DMSO only as a control or the test compound in DMSO (the final DMSO concentration is 1 %), were activated by the addition of an ATP mix (5 mM MgCl ₂ , 100 μM ATP, and 0.1 μL [γ ³³ P]ATP).

Reactions were incubated at room temperature for 1 hr, and then stopped by the addition of IM HCl. The lipids were then extracted using a two step procedure. Firstly, 200 μL of chloroform/methanol (1: 1) was added, the biphasic reactions mixed and centrifuged briefly, and the inorganic phase was removed and discarded. Following this, 80 μL of methanol:HCl (1 :1) was added and the same procedure followed. The organic phase (70 μL) was then transferred to a clean 1.6 mL tube and the reactions were dried using a Speedvac, with no heating, for 30 min. The reactions were spotted onto TLC plates (Merck Ltd) and developed for 1 hr in propanol-l :2 M acetic acid (13:7). The TLC plates were then dried at room temperature and quantified using a phosphorimager (Stormlmager, Amersham). Nine compound concentrations were used for each test compound to determine its IC ₅₀ value. Each experiment was performed twice and the average IC ₅₀ value is used herein. The results are summarized in Table 1.

B. Cellular growth inhibition.

[00441] The compounds were evaluated against two early passage human cell lines

NZB5 and NZO V9 (Marshall et al, Oncol. Res. 2004, 14, 297). The cells were grown in ITS medium (α-modified minimal essential medium supplemented insulin, transferrin, selenite, and 5% fetal bovine serum) and grown on 96-well tissue culture plates under an atmosphere of 5% O ₂ , 5% CO ₂ , and 90% N ₂ . Individual wells contained 500-1 ,000 cells (depending on the growth rate) in a volume of 150 μL. Compounds were added at 10-fold concentration steps to a maximum of 20 μM and plates were incubated for five days, with ³ H-thymidine being added over the last 6 hrs. Cells were harvested and incorporated radioactivity measured. Duplicate samples were analyzed for each compound dose with multiple control samples. Data were fitted by a least-squares method to an exponential of the form y = yo + ae ^'bx , where y is the radioactivity (corrected for background and normalized to 100% of the control), x is the radiation dose, and yo, a, and b are variables, and the IC ₅₀ value defined as the compound concentration reducing ³ H-thymidine levels by 50%. The results are summarized in Table 1. TABLE 1. Biological Activity
